Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of this application relate to the field of wireless communication technologies, and provide a communication method and apparatus, to improve accuracy of a positioning result and reduce a waste of resources of a network device. In the method, the network device may receive a positioning information request from a positioning server. The positioning information request may be used to request the network device to configure uplink positioning reference signal configuration information for a terminal device. The network device may send the uplink positioning reference signal configuration information and neighboring cell information to the positioning server. The neighboring cell information may include an identifier of one or more first neighboring cells and/or a measurement result of a measurement quantity corresponding to the one or more first neighboring cells. The first neighboring cell is a neighboring cell of the terminal device.
